Almost looks like a Bull Snake - Kind of difficult for me to tell - the eyes didn't appear to be elipitical in shape - more round.........From the angle - didn't appear to be a poisonous snake - Only about 20% of the snake encounters are with poisonous snakes.........Best advice though - leave them be - they'll usually leave you alone as well

Jimmy,
You're correct - that is a cotton mouth & from your pictures - a very big one. I hope you had a real large lens - because you don't want to get close to one. They can be real mean. I see them throughout the summer when I'm running in the park down by the river.
Jowever - they are both great shots!
